Complaining on Twitter about your food being stolen is a dickhead move

I'm blaming her [Lizzo] for complaining online about it because that's a dickhead thing to do. As a fellow curvy person, you never want to tweet about your food not being there... I feel like you're just setting yourself up to get dunked on.

This is a subjective moral/etiquette take.

The Spurs intentionally turned off the AC during Game 1 of the 2014 NBA Finals

[Big Cat]: Do you think the Spurs intentionally turned off the AC in that final? [Bosh]: Absolutely. Of course. That's like Red Auerbach was known. If you're in Boston, the fire things that come off or whatever... I mean, he never denied it, right? But yeah, if I'm them, I'm trying to win.

The Spurs officially attributed it to an electrical failure. While widely speculated by fans, it has never been proven as intentional.

If a man finds an outfit that works, he should wear it every time

Bengals coach Zach Taylor has a sketchy vibe and doesn't pop on the sidelines

[Zach Taylor] is a tough guy to vibe out on because he looks like an assistant coach on the sidelines... I would go as far as to say he's got a sketchy vibe because you just don't know what he's doing. He shows up at a party and all your friends that are girls look at each other with side glances.

This is a subjective assessment of a person's personality and presence.

Kirk Cousins is the worst kind of quarterback because he gives you enough hope to hurt you

Nothing in this world will break your spirit faster than having to be a fan that gets excited for Kirk Cousins on a Sunday. He is the worst kind of quarterback because he's the kind that's good enough where when he fucks up, it really hurts you. It disappoints you... He is good enough to give you enough hope, where then when he fucks up, he totally drives you into deep, deep depression.

Adam Vinatieri will go to the Hall of Fame as a Patriot because he has no memorable moments as a Colt

[Adam Vinatieri is going to the Hall of Fame as] a Patriot, one of us. There's no memorable Adam Vinatieri moments on the Colts. There's nothing that's imprinted in your memory of Adam Vinatieri, game-winning kick [in Indianapolis].

While subjective, Vinatieri played more seasons for the Colts than the Patriots and won a Super Bowl there, making the 'no memorable moments' claim highly debatable.

If a rookie quarterback gets 'scarred' by starting too early, he was never going to be 'the guy' anyway

If a guy gets scarred [by playing early], he never was going to be the guy anyway. You either have the ability to overcome taking your lumps or you don't. Might as well just do it now.

This is a philosophical stance on player development that remains debated in NFL circles.

Cliff Kingsbury is a coward for settling for field goals on 4th and short in the red zone

Cliff Kingsbury, you're supposed to be this offensive genius guy... What the fuck, dude? The Cardinals in the red zone, fourth and one at the four, field goal. Fourth and goal at the two, field goal. I would rather lose trying to get one yard on fourth and goal on the one than just slowly die kicking field goals every time.

Joe Flacco is the league leader in 'being there' and dumping the ball off in the flat

Joe Flacco is the league leader in being there. He's around at all times. You know that you can count on him to put together one good drive a game. But there's nothing that he loves more in this world than throwing a ball into the flat. Joe Flacco is a fetish for three-yard outs.

You are always open at some point when running the 'Four Verticals' play

On four verticals, you're always open at some point. You're either open underneath the coverage or you're open when the coverage transitions, or you're open behind the coverage... you're open in the windows. You're always open somewhere. The difficult thing is executing.

This is a subjective tactical opinion from a legendary coach, but theoretically sound within his offensive philosophy.

The Chicago Cubs are the most maddening and frustrating team I've ever watched

My fire fest is the Chicago cups. They're the most maddening team, frustrating team I've ever watched. They just want to toy with everyone's hearts and they win one game, lose one game, lose two games. Don't score for a week. Then they look awesome... I am at the point where I'm just I don't even know what I want anymore.

Vic Fangio's decision to kick a field goal down 21-6 with 10 minutes left was a loser's move

When [Vic Fangio] kicked that field goal down 21-6 with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, you need two touchdowns no matter what. He kicked a field goal to then need two touchdowns no matter what... why are you so afraid of not getting a fourth down when kicking a field goal is essentially admitting defeat there?

Subjective football strategy, though most modern analytics would agree with Big Cat that kicking there significantly lowers win probability.

The NFL moving the Raiders out of Oakland is absolute bullshit

Each NFL team should be allowed one legal body slam per game

DeAndre Hopkins doesn't get enough credit for one of the coolest nicknames... Nuke. So when he body slammed the defender, which I believe that each team should get one body slam a game, just like you get one body slam, we get one body slam.

Green Day is officially an 'oldies' band now

I was thinking that Green Day would you consider them to be classic rock at this point... yeah I guess... when does the 90s become classic rock... I think it's now. Fuck. I think Green Day is an oldies band.

Generational labels are subjective, but musically, Green Day's prime material is now 30+ years old, fitting the traditional 'classic' or 'oldies' window.

Alabama could beat the Dolphins if they had Tom Brady and Bill Belichick

Hank, could Alabama beat the Dolphins if they had Tom Brady as a quarterback? Tom Brady as a quarterback, Belichick as the other coach... [Hank]: Yes. With that type of strategy, like give him two weeks to prepare... Yeah.

The outcome is impossible to verify, but historically the talent gap between pros and college remains too high regardless of the QB.

I am stronger now at 245 pounds than I was when I played at 265

I lost 15, 20 pounds. And the weight I lost, I call it bullshit weight... bloated weight. I'm actually stronger now. I'm 245 right now... I'm ripped. It feels good. I feel lighter. I feel quicker. I feel faster. I feel more energy.

The '69' joke is starting to fade away

Tom Brady has a 'special power' that tells him who will be open on every play

I feel like Tom has like this special power and he like he like knows who's going to be open that play... just from all the practice, just from reading the guys being around them... that's what makes him so special and that's why he can get anyone open because he knows exactly where they're going to be.

The Falcons are the most frustrating team in NFL history to watch and bet on

I fucking hate the Falcons... They're the most frustrating team I've ever watched, ever bet on. I bet on them pretty much every single week... and they fucking suck, and they do the same thing every time.

While 'most frustrating' is subjective, the Falcons' tendency for late-game collapses and underperforming their talent roster (Ryan, Jones, Ridley) is a widely held view among fans and bettors.

The key to Kirk Cousins' success is not letting him play quarterback

They figured out the key to Kirk Cousins. Don't let him actually play quarterback. He only threw 10 passes. Less is more with him... Actually, the key for Kirk Cousins is to make sure that the quarterback doesn't play quarterback.

The Vikings' offense was significantly better when leaning on Dalvin Cook and the run game in 2019, though Cousins still had high-volume games.

The Cowboys shouldn't sign Dak Prescott to an extension right now while he's playing for a contract

Dak Prescott's going to make a shitload of money. And I actually think if you're Jerry Jones, don't sign him right now because he's playing for a contract.

Dak had a career year in 2019, throwing for nearly 5,000 yards while playing on his rookie deal, supporting the 'motivation' theory.

We owe Mike Tomlin an apology for how he handled Antonio Brown

In all of this, in all the Antonio Brown madness and the Raiders and all that stuff, I think we owe Mike Tomlin an apology. I think he actually dealt with Antonio Brown the way that you have to deal with a receiver that talented.

The life lesson of Antonio Brown is that talented people can get away with anything

If you're extremely talented at something, you can probably get away with more than everyone else. That's a tough lesson... If you are extremely valuable and exceptionally talented at your given work, you probably can get away with shit.

Matt Nagy's decision to call 45 passes and only 15 runs against the Packers was 'incompetence.'

Matt Nagy was also terrible because I know the offensive line wasn't doing a great job and they couldn't really block but holy shit, man, 45 passes and 15 runs. You can't do that, right, when you have a defense like we have. So it was incompetence.

The Bears' offense struggled throughout 2019, finishing 29th in yards per game, lending credence to critiques of the offensive system.

The best way for a celebrity to let off steam anonymously would have been to use their real name on the Jeremy Renner app.

Jehovah's Witnesses should carry pizzas to get people to open their doors.
